  • Hectares: 65
The Antinori estate is located in the hills behind Fiesole and preserves the remains of an ancient agricultural activity of the Medicean era.

Thanks to the particular climatic and environmental characteristics, in the vineyards white varieties have been planted that are unusual for the area, such as riesling, pinot grigio, pinot bianco and gewurztraminer.

Origin Fiesole (FI)
Harvest The grapes for Mezzo Braccio were picked by hand in two different moments in time, first in mid-September to fully bring out the freshness and then in late September and early October to develop a greater aromatic intensity and richness in sugars.
Wine making The grape bunches were destemmed and then given a light pressing to extract the juice with greatest possible delicacy. The fermentation was carried out vineyard plot by vineyard plot and took place in stainless steel tanks at temperatures held to a maximum of 61° Fahrenheit (16° centigrade). The wine was then conserved at a temperature of 50° Fahrenheit (10° centigrade) up until bottling in July of 2017.
Aging A further six month period of bottle aging then followed.
